Descent time also for women, but compared to the semi-disaster last week for the speed opening of the men's sector, with only one race out of the three scheduled, Lake Louise should go much better for the women's sector.
After the stop following the only test held on Tuesday, with the cancellation of the following two trainings, for some hours the weather has been improving in the Alberta area and today, with the start scheduled at 20.30 Italian (live TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport), there is great confidence for the first of the two Canadian descents. The most awaited woman, Sofia Goggia, who has chosen bib number 5 to start her defense at the red bib, after having already shown brilliance and feeling already in the only official training session, will go on the hunt for the first success in these parts. 3 days ago.
Ramona Siebenhofer will open the race, followed by Nadia Delago who aims decisively at the top ten area, while Breezy Johnson (bib 3) is called to confirm herself after the amazing 2020/21 season; Corinne Suter, with some unknowns linked to her competitive return after the fall at the end of September, will come out of the gate for the seventh and will anticipate Lara Gut-Behrami by a couple of numbers, conditioned by a non-ideal flu state approaching this already very important triptych for the Ticino thinking about the absolute World Cup.
Ester Ledecka, who triumphed in Lake Louise for the first time in her career (without considering snowboarding, of course ...) two years ago, on the last occasion she competed in Canada, will have 11 and after the champion Czech we will see the return, almost a year after the devastating crash in Val d''Isère, of a Nicole Schmidhofer who has extraordinary memories on the track where she won three of her four races in CdM, but from which obviously nothing can be expected .
Attention to Kira Weidle (13), very dangerous in this technical context, and then here is the third blue at the start that will be Federica Brignone with 14, for the return of the Valle d'Aosta downhill to Lake Louise with the aim of approaching at least one top ten. Between Tamara Tippler (15) and Ilka Stuhec (19), here are Elena Curtoni and Francesca Marsaglia with the 17 and the 18, but with the n ° 24 there will also be a lot of curiosity to see again in the race, more than 21 months from the last time, Nicol Delago.
If Roberta Melesi goes in search of some points with the number 42, the same goal as Karoline Pichler, last at the start with the 52, it will be necessary to wait at least until the bib number 31 to understand how this race will end, given that it is Mikaela's number Shiffrin (without WCSL points in the discipline, where he has not competed since January 2020 when he was first and fourth in Bansko), who in 2017 won his first descent in the maximum circuit at Lake Louise.
